0:29
And by once again, I mean in the past, there have only been two
0:33
of us. And yet again, there are only
0:34
two of us because Jake is in New York City right now.
0:40
He's having sleeps, he's having fun, but we're having more fun
0:44
because we are talking about fantasy hockey with the people.
0:50
Today, the people. We people today, we're talking
0:54
Week 7 waivers and streamer targets.
0:58
These are guys that you wanna pick up for the week seven of

1:55

1:57
So comment, comment five stars, but also comment your favorite
2:01
team. I thought you said comment your
2:03
Social Security number. Want to?
2:06
Come with your favorite team. I'm actually curious to see
2:08
where most of us viewers are based.
2:11
Like I know in the discord we have a lot of Texas fans, a lot
2:13
of Dallas Stars, Yeah, but maybe is a little different.
2:17
So yeah, let us know. And yeah, I think.
2:21
We're trying to reach the players on your team too much if
2:23
you comment it. Listen, we're happiest fans and
2:27
last game is atrocious for us. Speaking of Texas, but.
2:31
Yeah. Anyways, before we get into our
2:35
week seven options, we have to view what Week 6 look like.
2:39
And Josh, how about you tell us how that went?
2:42
I would love to all right, so for week 6 we had Will Cooley
2:47
Kevins baby. Three goals, 0 says, 3 points,
2:50
10 hits. EZ Dub still sticking on power
2:54
play one with Trocheck going back.
2:57
That's massive. Just huge.
2:58
It's actually crazy to me that with how much of A reach Kevin
3:01
reached on him, it's actually. Paying, I knew I was ahead of.
3:04
The There's no way you knew he was getting powerfully won over.
3:06
Trocheck and laugh. No, but do you know top 6?
3:09
Yeah, no, for sure. But yeah.
3:11
So that was a huge dub. And again, that's A season long
3:13
hold, especially in bangers leagues.
3:14
Then we had Chris Kreider one goal to assist, three points,
3:17
another huge W. The Ducks are just super fun
3:19
right now. And he stapled line one power
3:21
play, one with the GOAT Leo Carlson.
3:22
So that's an easy season long keep.
3:24
Dmitry Veronica, who had a slow week, no points, I'll take that
3:27
as an Li, still think that he is a season long hold.
3:30
And Columbus was working something right before that,
3:32
zero points. He put up a three-point game,
3:34
but it technically wasn't and it was after our episode, but it
3:36
was before this week, so I didn't include it.
3:38
But you know, the potential is still there.
3:41
So I still really like him. So on the season that puts us at
3:43
9:00 and 3:00, still like where we're at, still really solid
3:46
record and we're going to keep the W's coming.
3:48
So going into the schedule for next week, some low game teams
3:52
to note Nashville only has one game next week.
3:55
So any of your Nashville Predators who are not a staple,
3:59
you should drop them. Ottawa, Philly and Pittsburgh
4:02
all have two games, not unless the four-game teams because
4:04
there's a lot of them busy nights are Thursday and
4:06
Saturday, which means there's a lot of teams with multiple off
4:09
nights. So let's dive right into our top
4:11
ten points. Guys under 40% owned and I threw
4:15
in some defensemen because we're always trying to get the
4:18
positional diversity going for you find folks back home so.
4:24
#10. At #10 we have OEL, Oliver,
4:27
Ekman, Larsson of the Toronto Maple Leafs line 3 power play.
4:31
One seems like that power play was going to stick.
4:33
Morgan Riley. Off my team, baby, Yeah.
4:37
You sold high on him and just like I knew you would and you
4:40
should because he is poop. But anyways, OEL is pretty much
4:45
locked on Power Play 1. Not that they're doing much with
4:47
it. Matthews is out for the week so
4:48
it's not the most exciting one. But if you need a power Play 1
4:50
defenseman, OEL is there only three games with Not the Off
4:54
Night. So again, that's why he's on #10
4:56
but he's still worth mentioning. And it's also rare that you get
4:58
the opportunity to stream power play 1 defenseman on a team that
5:04
should have a good. Power play that should have
5:05
exactly. So I I've been streaming OEL
5:09
myself all over the Ekman Larson.
5:10
I realized recently that not everybody knows the OEL
5:13
nickname. It's not like super into fantasy
5:15
mute. This is your first year playing
5:16
like you're not familiar with the name at all.
5:17
Like this is the type of guy that like had a lot of hype few
5:19
years ago. Now he's near the end of his
5:21
career, kind of like trying to find a home to get some value,
5:25
but yeah. Trying to find his forever home.
5:27
Exactly, He's trying to get the the cut back to the Leafs and I.
5:31
Don't think it's gonna work out. Yeah, that would be much too
5:35
much to say about that one. People one on Toronto.
5:37
It's has its own value, but that's it.
5:38
Yeah, All right, next at #9 #9 we have Matt Coronado of the
5:45
Calgary Flames. Line 2 power play 1, four-game
5:47
week with multiple off nights. The Flames suck.
5:50
Let's preface that by saying that the Flames are absolute
5:54
garbage. I don't expect him necessarily
5:56
to get the most points, but he is definitely worth noting
6:00
because his shot volume has been off the charts.
6:02
He's got I think 22 shots in his last four names.
6:05
He had an 11 shot game. Anytime anyone does that with
6:08
some level of consistency they are worth at least keeping an
6:11
eye on and on a four-game week I'm very happy to pick up.
6:13
Most leagues have some sort of either a cat for shots on goal
6:16
or points for it. So just the pure shot volume
6:18
with the upside of he is power play 1.
6:20
So if Calgary scores he should be in on it then.
6:23
I like Coronado as a as a flyer that could potentially last on
6:26
your roster if he keeps shooting at this level.
6:29
The main thing to note is the shots like Coronado has.
6:32
He's kind of been named the whole season because of the
6:34
deployment, like he's been playing the whole year.
6:37
He's either aligned 2 or line one.
6:38
Both are basically the same for me honestly in.
6:41
Calgary to a big contract in the offseason.
6:43
You gotta follow that money. So this is a guy that's going to
6:45
be the future of this Calgary team.
6:47
Like he's going to be a top six winger for them for years to
6:49
come. He's shooting a lot.
6:51
That already raises the eyebrows.
6:53
His points, he's kind of been sneaked been, but like every
6:56
shooting so much, you're going to get points at some point.
6:58
And I think this week is one of those weeks where he has four
7:02
games you could get a lot of shots out of him.
7:04
So in your category leagues, he's one watch even if you're
7:06
not getting the bangers with the hits and the blocks.
7:08
Yeah, OK, on to some familiar faces on our list at #8 and #8
7:16
we have Jordan Eberly of the Seattle crack in line.
7:18
One power play 1, four-game week with multiple off nights.
7:21
I'm pretty sure he's been on every streamer episode for the
7:23
past like 4 weeks and he still have ring around 1213% owned.
7:26
It's just, it's hard to find a guy who's got that deployment in
7:29
that ice time and he's putting up solid numbers.
7:31
He's shooting, he's hitting, he's getting goals, and he's
7:35
just on the ice in all important situations for that team.
7:37
He's the captain of that team. It's not the flashiest name, but
7:40
he's up on my roster for a few weeks and I expect him to stick
7:42
around for a while more, so I like him.
7:44
A. Lot, him, Jordan Eberly, and #8
7:47
and the guy we're going to talk about next after, they're
7:49
basically the same. I think both guys, these are
7:52
guys that they have 4 game weeks, they're averaging .75
7:58
points per game, pretty much hovering around three shots a
8:01
game. They have great deployment on
8:03
their respective teams. We've talked about it.
8:07
Don't want to give a blur everything talk about Jordan
8:09
Eberle, but every week we talk about every yeah, he's a 13%
8:12
owned and he's worth streaming on a four-game week.
8:14
He's worth streaming on some three-game weeks.
8:16
But it's just a type of guy that like he's always available and
8:19
always a solid pickup to give you a floor production.
8:22
So let's go to the next one since we're kind of lumping them
8:24
in together. #7. And #7 we have Kyle Palmeri of
8:30
the New York Islanders Line 2 power play one another four-game
8:32
week with multiple off nights and it's again, he appears on
8:35
every stream episode. It's really just the ice time
8:37
that deployment. And one recently got.
8:41
I guess with, yeah, it's the way that they list it on like a lot
8:44
of the sites is they list that as line too.
8:46
But you know, honestly the line with Corvette on it is line 1.
8:48
So yeah, you're right. I'll change that to line one
8:50
Power play 1. Thank you.
8:52
Well, the respect on the guy that's on my roster.
8:53
Yeah, with Horvat and Heineman that I'll consider that line 1
8:56
for sure, even if the sites do not.
8:58
But yeah, it's it's you already mentioned it's the same thing as
9:00
early. These guys are getting great
9:02
deployment and putting up solid numbers.
9:03
They're not flashy, but on a four-game week with multiple off
9:06
nights, it's an easy stream. These are the type of guys that
9:09
I mean, pulmonary 27%, He's line 1P1.
9:13
He's playing at least 17 minutes a night, between 17 and 20
9:16
minutes. He's on the power play.
9:18
He's got to get you 3 shots a game.
9:19
He's gonna get you some points. These are the type of guys
9:22
that's not the flashiest name, but they're always available.
9:25
You can stream them and you'll be happy.
9:27
Yeah, and indeed, please, they're great to round out your
9:29
roster with and just hold on to. I mean, I'm holding on to early
9:31
for long-term, Kevin holding on to primary for long term, or
9:33
both. They're not even considered
9:35
drops at any moment. Pick them up like a month ago
9:37
and I'm probably not going to drop him this whole year, so
9:39
yeah. All right, let's move on to
9:42
number six at #6 the only one on this list, I think that doesn't
9:46
have a four-game week other than OEL.
9:48
Anton Lundell of the Florida Panthers line, One Power play,
9:51
1. Just what he's been doing is
9:53
unreal. I mean, it's kind of a lot of
9:54
people suspected it with the Barkov injury that he was gonna
9:56
be 1 come in. I think people actually
9:57
suspected Bennett to step up. Bennett has stepped down and
10:01
Lundell has really filled that spot, especially with Reinhart
10:04
kind of waking up and then playing when they're online
10:06
together. But he's playing with Louis
10:08
Brennan and Marshall, who's been just basically nuts.
10:11
Yeah. And so I really like Wendell as
10:13
a season long hold. That's why I included him even
10:15
though he doesn't have the four-game week.
10:17
And listen, Lindell is only 32% owned.
10:20
I think that's one of the reasons why is because he's a
10:23
pure right, like a lot of leagues only start 2 pure seas.
10:25
He's not gonna he's not gonna trump the Austin Matthews is
10:28
who's currently hurt or the other purses that you drafted
10:32
away higher right. But if you're in a deeper
10:34
leader, you're starting maybe 3 or 4 pure sees, maybe you only
10:38
you play in the league that you can start any forward and at any
10:41
point and they're just all lumped together.
10:42
Anton Lundell is great. Like with this deployment, I'm
10:44
surprised his roster percentage is still low because he's been
10:46
averaging a point per game this season.
10:48
It's actually pretty surprising. He's playing with Marshawn, who
10:50
is scoring for fun. He doesn't have the biggest
10:53
category coverage. He'll get you face off wins, but
10:54
his shot and his bangers have not been the best.
10:57
But that's not why you're picking him up.
10:59
You're picking him up because he's getting exposed to
11:01
Marshawn. Let's get a new point per game.
11:03
So based on that power play one right now, which is starting to
11:06
heat up and I think Reinhardt waking up, Seth Jones had his
11:09
first good game of the season, which is nice on my roster.
11:11
Like, I do think that the Panthers are slowly starting to
11:14
wake up, get out of there, you know, funk from losing bark off
11:17
right before the season started, kind of a big shock for them.
11:19
And they're figuring it out. And Lundell is going to be a big
11:22
beneficiary of that. He'll get you mostly assist and
11:25
guys he plays on the power play on the PK and he's if they need
11:28
a defensive draw or something, he's the guy that's on the 20
11:32
minutes a night, 2021 minutes a night for a guy like this at 32%
11:36
on, it's like it's unheard of. These guys are available.
11:39
Yeah, so he's lower on the list because of the three-game week,
11:42
but out of everyone on the list, he might be maybe not the top 2,
11:45
but out of like the next couple guys even he's more of a season
11:48
long hold. And he's blocking low key, like
11:50
if you actually want in your category leagues, blocks are one
11:55
of the categories from a forward position, getting around the hit
11:59
a block a game is nothing to shy away from.
12:03
Like yeah, that was trying to find the.
12:05
Word Yeah. But yeah, no.
12:10
Top half of the list at. #5. And #5 we have the man who is
12:16
terrorizing me this week, Jack Roslovic of the Edmonton Oilers
12:19
line 2 power play, 1 four-game week with multiple off nights
12:22
literally out pointing McDavid. This week I have McDavid, I'm
12:25
playing against Roslovic. It's very frustrating but made
12:28
me have to put him on this list. Look, originally I didn't put
12:31
him last week because I thought with Hyman coming back and Nudge
12:35
was healthy at the time, that also loses all value and I still
12:38
stand by that. I don't think once he loses
12:40
power one that he's going to be worth holding onto.
12:42
Maybe I exaggerated a bit. I mean doing solid at even
12:44
strength. But like I just never like these
12:47
guys on Edmonton who aren't on power play one just historically
12:50
over the years they never have really long staying power.
12:52
That being said, Nugent Hopkins is out.
12:55
Hyman is coming back this week but I don't know any update on
12:58
new. So as long as Nugent Hopkins is
12:59
out and Ross looks on that power play 1, he is very much worth a
13:02
stream, especially on a four-game week with multiple off
13:04
nights. If you're getting Jack Roslovic
13:06
for four games while he's playing P1 with McDavid,
13:09
Bouchard Drive over the last two weeks is averaging 1.14 points
13:14
per game. Yep, 0.4 power play points, 2.6
13:19
shots. This is like you wish you could
13:22
get this production from like the perfect stream, your top
13:24
five round picks in your fantasy draft.
13:27
This is one of the best streams. He's currently 31% owned, so
13:33
he's still decently below the 40% threshold that we're talking
13:36
about. He's centre, right wing
13:37
eligible, so you have that flexibility.
13:40
I think he's one of the best pickups this season, this
13:43
season, this this week. Yeah, like I said, there's
13:45
always the asterisk, like if new, as soon as we record this
13:48
is magically healthy and about to play and bumps off Ross from
13:52
People one, then I'm not as interested.
13:54
But I do not foresee that happening.
13:56
I want Ross living on my team as long as these people One looks
13:59
like he's got at least another week in them.
14:03
OK, moving to #4 at #4 another defenseman, so more positional
14:09
optimization for you guys. We've got Artum left, Shanov of
14:13
the Chicago Blackhawks line 3 power play 1, four-game week
14:16
with multiple off nights. And he may have been dropped in
14:18
some leagues because they had a two game week this week.
14:20
So it might be a good chance to pick him up.
14:22
Look, I think he's got power play 1 unlock at this point.
14:25
Jake would be so happy. He'd be gloating so hard if he
14:27
was here right now. So Jake, if you're listening to
14:29
this, I'll give you a little a little shout out because you
14:32
were right about this one. And yeah, the second he came on
14:34
power play one. I mean, it also coincided with
14:36
Bidard just going absolutely nuts.
14:38
But anyone who's on power play one with Bedard right now is
14:41
worth rostering, especially if it's the power play on
14:43
quarterback because those are harder to find.
14:46
Yeah. And I think it's worth
14:48
mentioning that, listen, he's not the best at the category
14:51
coverage. He's not going to get you any
14:52
shots his or blocks. And usually when you're
14:54
streaming defenseman, that's really what you want to stream
14:56
for because it's predictable. With Levodopa, you're getting
15:00
the other side of the coin. You're getting the power play
15:02
production. It feels like every game, if
15:03
he's getting an assist, it's a power play assist.
15:05
And that has a lot of value too, especially from the defenseman
15:08
position. So I really like him.
15:09
I think like Josh said, he has that spot on hold.
15:12
You wish he gets more ice time. Maybe he does with the success
15:14
that he's seeing, but as of right now, you want power
15:17
production, you want from the defenseman slot.
15:18
He's one of the best teams out there and he's still widely
15:20
available. He's only 18% rostered. 18% of
15:24
if you like summer is when you had that spot.
15:25
Doing worse was higher roster. Yeah, 100.
15:28
Percent. So people are still not in on
15:30
it. A lot of it is because of the
15:32
two game week. I think that they just
15:33
absolutely, but this is a great opportunity to grab him and hold
15:36
him for possibly season long. Yep.
15:39
And maybe this is the type of player that you know, you pick
15:41
up, he's hot, and then you try to flip him so.
15:43
Yeah, I love that. OK, at number that sorry.
15:48
Oh, those are at #3. OK, first try similar, I know
15:57
crazy and a similar vein to the previous one.
15:59
We have Andre Burkowski also the Chicago Blackhawks line one
16:02
power play 1 four-game week with multiple off nights.
16:05
This is very similar to the election of 1.
16:07
It's just getting to play with the reason I put Burkowski ahead
16:10
of Love Actually is because of the even strength deployment.
16:12
Obviously left defenseman. So it's not you can't really
16:15
match it up as well, but is going to be with Bedard every
16:17
second of the time he's on the ice and Bedard is nuts and
16:20
Murkowski's been putting up really good numbers.
16:22
So I really like him as a pickup.
16:23
And again, this is a could be a long term hold as long as he's
16:26
with the card second he gets bumped off that line, I'm
16:28
dropping him. I have him in my league, in our
16:29
league, but but as long as he's with Dart, I'm very happy having
16:32
him. Yeah, these are this is the
16:34
perfect like archetype of winger that you know, without a
16:37
deployment or nothing, but they get a deployment and there they
16:40
can be exceptional. And Berkley is one of those guys
16:42
that we've seen before when he was on Colorado in the past,
16:44
like he can have value in the top 6 and clearly he has some
16:47
chemistry with Bedard and it's clicking while that's happening.
16:50
You want him on your roster. You stream on a four-game week,
16:52
you'll get good results. Yeah.
16:54
I mean, look at like Ryan Donato last year, like RIP, but like
16:57
last year. I don't know why he's still on
16:59
the topic. That makes no sense.
17:00
He was so effective there last year.
17:02
I don't get why they signed him to that contract if they're not
17:04
going to play in the top 6, but whatever.
17:05
It's not a not our job, you know, but but yeah, honestly, it
17:09
should be. But yeah, so look how well he
17:11
did last year, right? Just that having that exposure
17:14
to Bidart and but that wasn't even nearly as good last year as
17:16
he is this year. So I think that it's a really
17:18
good time to be going. You know, I could mention
17:21
Bertuzzi as well. He's not officially on the list.
17:23
He's day-to-day right now. So I don't want to put an
17:24
injured guy, but very similar line, one power play, 1
17:27
exposure. So just if they're playing with
17:29
guard, they are valuable. Whoever gets more ice time with
17:33
Bedard is more valuable. So that's why his line, one
17:35
power play, one guys I put above the defenseman because even
17:38
strength are not guaranteed to play together.
17:40
Yep. And listen, I feel like it's
17:42
underrated how good because he has been over the last month,
17:45
he's averaging over a point per game, 1.1 point per game for the
17:48
last month .4 power play points. Like we said, we'd left Shannon
17:51
with all these other assets like the power play is clicking right
17:54
now. You wanna ride that over the
17:56
last month is 1.7 shots per game over the last two weeks at 3.
18:01
So listen, I haven't had many, many games this week, so maybe
18:04
the averages are influenced. But all that to say, like you
18:07
can get shots, he'll get you either zero shots or four shots,
18:10
kind of get in between. But the points are there and the
18:12
points are there, and you want that so.
18:14
Yeah, it's been really fun. I love.
18:16
I'm honestly, I feel like I've been on my game this year with
18:19
pickups and that's a really good one that I'm really excited.
18:22
About consolidated your whole team until three players and you
18:25
have so many streaming now, so you're about to make some good
18:27
stream streaming pickups. Yeah, exactly.
18:29
It's great. And it's created on my other
18:32
pickups like some other pickups to package into two for ones and
18:35
get even more upgrades and everything's going great so far.
18:37
Anyways, moving to. #2. At #2 We've got Kevin's buddy
18:43
William Eckland of the San Jose Sharks line. 2 power play, 1
18:46
four-game week, multiple off nights.
18:48
This is another season long hold.
18:50
He's actually been on a bit of a, I don't know if it's a cold
18:52
streak, but he's not popping, popping.
18:54
Just came back. That's it, he came back from
18:56
entry like 2 games ago but he gets to play with celebrity on
18:59
power play one. That Sharks team is a juggernaut
19:01
of scoring and honestly of defence out of nowhere because
19:04
they have the GOAT goalie which we'll talk about more in a few
19:07
moments. Kevin is laughing because it's
19:09
on his team and he's whatever. It's great for Kevin.
19:11
We're all super happy for him. But let's talk about Eklund.
19:14
Eklund killing and killing it and and definitely a season long
19:19
hold in my opinion. Yeah, I think the thing with
19:22
Ellen in the past has been he's been more 1 dimensional with
19:25
mostly being shots and not high volume.
19:27
But he really took a step up at the end of last season and this
19:30
season, here's the number two guy in San Jose, it's him and
19:33
his celebrity. So we're seeing a lot more show
19:36
volume from Eckland. Over the last month he's
19:38
averaging 2.7 shots, one hit, one block, eight points per game
19:43
.36 power play points the last month because he was injured for
19:48
yeah over the last week. But he he's going to give you
19:52
reliable production. He's left wing, right wing
19:55
eligible now as well, which is huge for fantasy.
19:58
I like him as a season long haul.
19:59
He's going to be in my roster for the foreseeable future.
20:01
He's 38% owned so he's right below this cutoff, but he should
20:05
be more than that. I feel like the injury made-up a
20:07
lot of people drop him. He's gonna be more than that.
20:09
Get in though. Yeah, for sure.
20:12
OK, let's go to. Number one.
20:17
The big one, OK, this is a guy that we've talked about, another
20:20
one of Jake's classics that he would be gloating about.
20:23
We have Adam Chantilly of the Columbus Blue Jackets line.
20:26
One power play, 1, four-game week, multiple off nights.
20:30
It is, it is here. It has arrived.
20:32
The Chantilly renaissance. He is.
20:36
Look, we set it the whole time. He had the skill.
20:37
It's no surprise at all. It was just when does the
20:39
deployment going to happen And really that that entry to
20:42
Monahan where he missed like half a game was all it took for
20:45
Chantilly to get that spot and just run with it.
20:47
So I think Chantilly's easily locked on at this point.
20:52
He's as long as he keeps like killing it.
20:53
I mean, I have Monahan, I got him as throwing as part of a
20:56
trade and I'm hoping that he could regain line one, but I
20:59
just don't see it happening properly.
21:00
One they both they're both gonna be on it.
21:02
So it's not an issue for me. Is Monahan owner.
21:03
But talking about mentally specifically, look, he had all
21:06
the talent. We know that now he's getting
21:07
the deployment. I'm pretty sure he's like so
21:10
close to 40% owned. So like he barely squeaked into
21:12
this. Right now it's 41 or maybe an
21:14
extra percent ticked over while we were recording.
21:16
That's definitely what happened. Yeah, I mean, no, it literally
21:19
like I did this a few hours ago and he was like 3839.
21:24
So I'm still counting it even though he's not totally under
21:27
40. But if you're in one of the
21:28
leads, if you're in one of the leagues where he's not owned,
21:31
pick him up. This is the biggest season long
21:33
hold. This is going to be his.
21:34
He's gonna be maybe not OK, what Leo Carlson doing is just
21:38
absurd. But this is the equivalent.
21:39
This is like his chance now to run with it.
21:43
Yeah, look, they don't. He does.
21:44
Columbus doesn't necessarily have the same offensive
21:46
firepower that Anaheim does, but he has the same level of skill
21:49
as Carlson does. They were drafted #2 #3 in that
21:51
draft year. And he's going to pop off.
21:54
So get him now. He's going to be, I'd say he's
21:56
gonna be like 70% rostered in in a few weeks.
21:59
So I think it's a great opportunity to get him when you
22:01
can. This is also the perfect
22:02
opportunity to plug the discord in the socials because listen,
22:07
if you're like, if you feel like you're late to the Chantilly
22:10
train, We were talking about it right as the Monaghan injury
22:13
happened. Like I remember being in trade
22:15
talks for Monaghan in Accutrac deal that Josh ended up pulling
22:18
off instead of me. So sad.
22:20
Tear down my. Tear down my.
22:21
Face. We're talking about in the disco
22:24
we mentioned like, hey, listen, like it looks like this guys get
22:26
the opportunity like get in now and then on the socials, we may
22:31
tick tocks, we may Instagram reels, YouTube shorts, like we
22:34
made content about family being like pick them up the
22:37
deployments coming here, getting now.
22:40
He's 40% owned right now. Maybe by the time you listen to
22:43
this already at 50%, but he's been an All Star guys.
22:47
He's playing four games this week.
22:49
Line 1P1. Do you know, do you know what
22:51
stats look like right now over the last two weeks is averaging
22:53
8.4 shots a game? Yeah, 3.4 shots a game with a
22:56
point per game. And I can feel.
22:58
Like this week. So I definitely know the stats.
23:00
Are he's scoring goals, he's getting assists, he's exposed to
23:04
the best players on this team like that Line 1 of Rankov,
23:07
Fantilli, Marchenko, I think is just going to stick.
23:10
Look, he's like the second best player on the team now after
23:12
Matthew Olivier. Matthew Olivia on the week that
23:16
is playing either me or you, yeah.
23:17
Exactly. But the guys, this is this is
23:21
the type of. Learning.
23:23
I was gonna say this. The pickup you're beating
23:25
yourself up on if you don't make it, like if you're listening,
23:27
like I said, if you listen to this episode, you go to your
23:29
league and he's available. Grab him now.
23:30
That's all we can do. All we can do is just tell you
23:32
how much of A pickup this is and the rest is on your shoulders.
23:36
I remember people in the discord are still saying that they're
23:39
pissed they missed out on Leo Carlson because they picked up
23:42
11 Shanov instead of him or a guy that ended up being like a
23:45
stream for a few games and you missed out on a potential league
23:48
winner like this is the next league winner.
23:50
Pick him up now he's 40% on he's available in over half of your
23:53
leagues. Maybe you're listening to this
23:54
and you're like, Dang, he's not available in my league.
23:58
Unfortunate. I'm sorry, but in 60% of lease
24:01
is available. Go pick him up.
24:03
Like there's a lot of guys that would drop.
24:04
So and if you want to know who's worth dropping, ask us the
24:09
question and discord. We will answer all of them.
24:11
If you're like, do I drop this guy frantically?
24:13
The answer is most likely yes, but I don't want to say I don't
24:19
say blanket yes, but most likely yes.
24:21
Do it now. You can win your league with
24:23
this pick up. Yeah, OK, let's get to our top
24:27
five bangers with a hard B at. Bangers.
24:32
There we go, bangers. Alright #5.
24:37
At #5 We have Vasily Pod Coles in of the Edmonton Oilers.
24:41
He's averaging 1.7 shots and 3.3 hits four-game week with
24:44
multiple off nights. And look he gets to he gets to
24:47
play with Leon Dry Seidel. So if he chips in some points
24:50
here and there, wouldn't be surprised.
24:53
Yeah, absolutely. I think pot calls in when he's
24:55
averaging this kind of like he's he's basically a double double
24:58
almost. So these guys have value.
25:00
The top ten that we just listed, it's more points focused like
25:03
you're still getting shots. Usually we incorporate some guys
25:06
that are good at hits in there as well.
25:08
But we're trying to differentiate guys that have
25:10
like the power forward architect that actually hit shots and
25:13
points from the guys that are more one-dimensional into
25:16
points, PowerPoints. And you can't really expect the
25:19
bangers consistently. But this list of top fives, we
25:22
start with potholes and he's not the biggest points guy, but
25:24
we're going to touch on those guys very soon.
25:26
He's worth picking up if you need hits and shots.
25:28
Yep. OK, let's go to #4 at #4 We've
25:33
got Radko Gudas of the Anaheim Ducks.
25:36
Asterisk. If healthy, he should be.
25:38
He's been skating. I expect him to be back by next
25:40
week. He's got 1.1 shots on goal, 3.3
25:44
hits, 1.7 blocks on the season so far. 4 game week with
25:47
multiple off nights and he usually Pimms.
25:49
He hasn't been that much this season, but I would expect it to
25:52
ramp up over the course of the season.
25:53
So just takes one fighter game misconduct.
25:56
Yeah, exactly, and and an average jumps up so look good.
25:59
This has been a bangers beast for years.
26:01
This year I feel like he's not getting the respect that he
26:03
normally deserves. I mean, he got dropped in our
26:05
league and I grabbed him for for four fab and I'm really excited
26:09
about it. I really my team.
26:10
Really, I regret not going harder.
26:12
Especially I have Romanov, who usually is a staple on this
26:15
list, but spoiler alert is not gonna be on this list because
26:17
he's kind of been sucking for. Being yeah, but yeah, like
26:20
honestly, I just feel like Gus is getting a lot of disrespect
26:22
this year. Mainly he was injured and also
26:24
troop was kind of stealing the Thunder there.
26:26
But the fact is these averages are still super nice for hits
26:29
and blocks and shots and the pimps will come.
26:31
So I really like this as a season long hold for bangers
26:34
leagues. Yep, He he was dropped in a lot
26:37
of leagues. He's currently only 17%.
26:39
It's crazy. Yeah, Buddhist is always around
26:41
30 to 40% just because we plan. There's like a lot of bangers
26:44
leagues on Yahoo specifically that if you're in the Bank
26:48
league. He's rostered pretty much.
26:49
But he was hurt. He's been hurt since October
26:51
23rd. And honestly, there's a lot of
26:53
injuries around the league right now.
26:55
We're getting the Dalens, the Yozis, the Queen used
26:57
day-to-day, the Jack Hughes knife injury.
27:00
People don't have the luxury of holding these guys anymore
27:03
because their IR is already full with a bunch of these other guys
27:06
you could chalk Raquel like, so people wanted the luxury team.
27:10
Yeah. And he's a guy like this is the
27:13
first to be cut, especially if you don't have the the news on.
27:16
When is he gonna come back? Like October 23rd was a long
27:18
time ago. So that's three weeks ago that
27:21
he's just on your roster with no update.
27:22
So yeah, but the update is here. He's around the corner.
27:26
This is the time to pick up Radical Gus if you're in a
27:28
bangers league. And I think he's like a
27:30
cornerstone defensive defensive guy that you put on your roster.
27:33
You know you're getting 0. Points.
27:36
Zero points is what you're going to get, but you're going to get
27:38
maybe one shot, some hits, some blocks and some Pimms, and
27:42
that's where you want them for. 100% So yeah, obviously monitor
27:45
the the health, but I like him a lot as a pickup.
27:49
All right, let's go to. #3. And #3 another guy on my team,
27:55
this is actually the only one who doesn't have a four-game
27:57
week, but I just felt I had to mention it, is Evander Kane of
28:00
the Vancouver Canucks. 3 game week with multiple off nights.
28:02
He's averaging 1.7 Pimms, 3.1 shots, 1.9 hits.
28:07
I mean it's really the shots. I think that's been the biggest
28:10
surprise. Like back in his heyday he was a
28:13
shooter. So it's not like it's nothing.
28:16
It's not like nothing. It's something new for him.
28:17
But the fact is that it's been a while since his heyday, right?
28:20
And he's just been pumping out the shots.
28:22
Over his last six games he had one game with zero shots, but
28:25
other than that he's had like a four shot.
28:27
Five I can list. Him shot, 10 shot, yeah.
28:30
His last five games in shots, four shots, eight shots, zero
28:34
shots, five shots, ten shots. Like that's this is elite, elite
28:39
numbers from a guy that you honestly probably expected to
28:43
get or hits than shots from. Yeah, at this point in his
28:45
career. And it's like the opposite.
28:46
We're getting bamboozled here. But it hits are still there too,
28:49
right? He's almost at 2.
28:50
It's a game. The Pimms are there.
28:52
It's not just like the numbers always get screwed when they
28:54
have like a misconduct. And he did have a misconduct at
28:56
one point. But he's also getting a ton of
28:58
miners here and there. Right.
28:59
So getting a lot of miners. Yeah, no, it's great.
29:01
I mean, not if you're a Canucks fan, but if you're a league with
29:04
Pimms like ours is, then he's a great danger to have.
29:07
And yeah, he's still his numbers been creeping up.
29:09
I think he's gonna cross over that 40% soon.
29:11
That 35% right now. Yeah, he was at like 20% about
29:15
like a week and a half ago, though I drafted him and and I'm
29:19
really happy to have him on my. Team.
29:20
When anybody gets ten shots, it raises eyebrows.
29:22
And 100. Percent people are curious.
29:24
Yeah, and then the fact that you read that list of all the other
29:27
shots and it's not like a one time 1 of wonder.
29:29
So yeah, he's playing line one, line one, power play 2.
29:31
It's a pretty nice deployment to have for a guy who has these
29:34
banger cats. Yep, absolutely.
29:37
OK #2 this is another one of those Jordan Eberly Kyle Palmer
29:42
guys who just appears on every single episode because what he's
29:44
doing is just unreal and I wish I had him on my team honestly.
29:48
So we've got a mile Heineman of the New York Islanders.
29:52
He has .65 points on the seat per game on the season playing
29:56
line one with Horvat and Pulmonary right now, 2.3 shots,
30:00
3.7 hits, four-game week with multiple off nights.
30:03
He's just unreal. He's he's really just hitting
30:06
his stride as a bangers beast and I think that we can see him
30:11
getting drafted in every Bangers league next year.
30:14
Yep, I'm really happy about this one because if you're in the
30:17
Discord, like I recommended picking up Emil Heineman in Week
30:20
6, I thought he had some really good opportunity.
30:23
Like the deployment was there, his numbers were good.
30:26
He's got goals in back-to-back games now.
30:28
So, you know, we recommend picking him up for the shots and
30:31
the hits because they've been so first of all, consistent and at
30:33
a high level. Like, yeah, over two shots,
30:35
almost four hits a game, that's unreal.
30:38
He's playing the top 6 on the New York Islanders.
30:40
Who or more fun this year than they've been in years past?
30:43
And .65 points, that's like a really good foundation for
30:46
points. I can see that taking up.
30:48
If anything I can see him getting that point 7.75 like
30:52
when he's playing with born vet and the best players on his team
30:55
exposed on the power play is probably production will
30:59
fluctuate. I will say yeah.
31:01
But just he's a great player. If you're in a bangers league
31:05
and he's still available, I'm surprised first of all, but you
31:08
gotta get him on your roster. I mean, I was comparing his
31:10
numbers to Kiefer Sherwood, who's like a bangers like legend
31:13
who everyone loves, right? And it's not that far off.
31:15
You know, I expect him to get more points than Sherwood.
31:17
Sure, what's gonna get more hits him is gonna get more shots, but
31:19
Heyman hits like a truck also so and everyone and everyone's
31:23
mind. Sherwood is a must own every
31:24
Bangers league. So why is Heineman not being in
31:25
this conversation is because this is his first year dropping
31:28
off a supposed to Sherwood second year.
31:29
So, but just the fact that aren't even in the same
31:32
conversation should tell you that if you're in a bangers and
31:34
he's available, grab him and hold him for the whole season.
31:36
Yep, and what I said about the power play, like I think that
31:38
he's playing good enough that he could potentially get exposed to
31:41
that. It's kind of like all of them
31:44
but inverse on PPU one, but he's not in the top 6, but he's doing
31:47
so well with that P1 exposure that I'm not surprised if he
31:51
ends up getting that top six at some point in the future.
31:53
With Hyman is the opposite, like he's in the top 6 but it's not
31:55
on the PS1. I would not be surprised if they
31:57
put him on PP1 essentially because he's doing so well on
32:00
top 6. Yeah, so like we say this every
32:02
time we talk about him, not like the guys on power Play one are
32:04
such locks right now. So he could definitely bump Drew
32:06
or Paul Mary. OK, let's go join.
32:10
Specifically not, of course. Let's go to the big.
32:16
This is the the notorious #1. At #1 We've got the new #1
32:23
member of the Josh and Kevin Hate Club, which is Matthew
32:26
Olivier of the Columbus Blue Jackets.
32:28
He's actually averaging 2.3 Pimms, 1.5 shots, 3.2 hits,
32:32
four-game week, multiple off nights and unfortunately next
32:35
week he won't be playing me or Kevin.
32:37
So he's not going to get you that four point game.
32:38
But you know, he's getting points randomly here and there.
32:41
I wouldn't count on it, but the fact is that you can get a
32:44
Bangers Beast with some random points upside and that's really
32:47
nice to have on a four-game week.
32:48
It's very rare that you're able to, like, there's a lot of guys
32:51
that have the archetype of being good at Pimms, but it's very
32:55
rare that you're able to stream that with any sort of
32:57
consistency. I feel like this is one of the
32:59
only exceptions that he's good for a fight.
33:01
It feels like every two or three games and a game misconduct is
33:04
always on the table. So this is the type of guy that,
33:08
like we said, he's #1 if you need points, I'm definitely
33:11
going in. Mill Heineman.
33:12
Yeah, especially with the balanced shots and hits.
33:16
But we're talking about banger leagues here that have Pimms.
33:20
And that's a category that's very hard to stream.
33:22
He is currently 12% owned. He's about to have a four-game
33:26
week. Would I be surprised if he gets
33:28
15 penalty minutes over the course of four games?
33:31
I would not. And that can win that category
33:33
alone for you. He's going to get you shots, get
33:35
you a lot of hits. It's reliable.
33:37
It's what you need. He's the type of guy that you
33:39
want. 100% OK, so our top three Skeeter pickups for the week are
33:45
Adam Fantilli, William Eckland and Andre Burkowski.
33:47
I just felt like the usually we'll throw in a bangers guy,
33:50
but these guys are just too doing too well to not happy in
33:52
our top three. Honorable mention to Emil
33:55
Heineman. I think he would be the type of
33:57
guy that if you want, I could get more points than because
34:01
you're excellent this week. It feels like it's in the realm
34:03
of outcomes. I wouldn't bet on my, I wouldn't
34:05
bet my house on it. Don't check Zillow, but yeah, I
34:09
love all these guys. And Fantilli, once again, league
34:13
winning pickup. Yeah, pick him up now.
34:15
The opportunity is there. You won't get it again.
34:17
Yeah, OK. Let's move on to our goalies,
34:20
our top three quantity goalies. I actually like these a lot
34:23
this. I mean, I always like them, but
34:24
this week is I think we've got some good names on here at. #3.
34:29
We've got Jet Greaves of the Columbus Blue Jackets.
34:32
They've got four games, Montreal, Winnipeg back-to-back,
34:34
then Toronto, then Detroit. And he should get at least two
34:38
of them. I mean, he was they.
34:40
Were gonna get all four that. They're doing a split back and
34:42
forth now. It's just been grieves.
34:44
Obviously Elvis is under the weather, so that could just be
34:47
the reason he comes back and they go back to splitting it, in
34:48
which case I'll just get the two starts, But the potential is
34:50
there for them to get three of those starts.
34:52
Let's give context. Columbus has been playing
34:55
literally alternating goalies every game.
34:57
It's either degrees than Elvis. There's an Elvis this week.
35:00
They had four games. He got all four games.
35:02
He's yeah as we speak confirmed for the game tonight.
35:04
He played two games on a back-to-back.
35:06
He played the game after and I was gonna play the 4th game.
35:09
So Elvis was under the weather. That's kind of one of the main
35:12
reasons why I think Jake's got the back-to-back, but he's
35:14
running with it like he's the goalie of the future.
35:16
We knew he was going to come at some point.
35:18
It just so happened to be on a week that I own Elvis and needed
35:20
him to start games. So love that for me.
35:23
But looking moving forward, maybe not.
35:25
You won't play all the games on back-to-back, but he's going to
35:27
get you quantity. He's like roughly 30% owned and
35:31
is a starter on a team that should be a playoff contender.
35:35
I would say there's there's a lot worse pick up so you can
35:38
make. Yeah, for sure.
35:40
Alright, let's move on to #2 and #2 we have Kevin Lankinen of the
35:46
Vancouver Canucks. They have three games next week,
35:48
Florida, Dallas, Calgary, Thatcher Demko, unsurprisingly
35:51
on IR. So LinkedIn is the start.
35:53
In the meantime, he's going to get the quantity.
35:55
I don't love Vancouver as a team, but Lincoln is a solid
35:57
goalie. So he's a, he's a solid guy you
35:59
could pick up to be a starter for a few weeks until Demco
36:01
comes back and then comes back, they'll split Demco, get injured
36:04
again and then linking the starter again.
36:05
So think he's gonna get you a lot of quantity over the course
36:08
of the season. Yeah, I think they're gonna ride
36:10
with him. Waltham's hurt Demco.
36:13
I mean, it's tough. I'm this is, I think he's losing
36:17
a lot of confidence from the management at this point.
36:18
It's not the same injury that he's dealt with in the past.
36:20
It's a different injury so sorry for Demco owners.
36:25
If you need a goalie, pick up LinkedIn.
36:27
That's about it. OK, and let's go to the top.
36:32
The GOAT, the best goalie in fantasy at #1.
36:37
At #1 we have Kevin's best friend Yaroslav Askerov, who of
36:42
the San Jose Sharks. They have four games next week,
36:44
Utah, LA, and then an Ottawa, Boston back-to-back.
36:47
Ashcroft has been absolutely phenomenal, similar to Columbus.
36:51
They've been alternating between him and Volkovich all season
36:54
back and forth. But then Ned had to step away
36:55
for a personal reason. Askerov gotten all the stars in
36:58
the meantime and he's just absolutely killing it.
37:00
It's like you go look at his game log.
37:01
It's actually absurd. He's led in I think Max two
37:04
goals in one of his games in the past like.
37:06
Six nights. Can I give you the stats for
37:08
Askerov? Yeah.
37:10
His last four games. OK.
37:12
His last five games. Yeah.
37:14
Last game they lost against Calgary, 20, They got shut out.
37:17
He made 34 of 35 saves. 971, They beat Minnesota 2/1 He saves
37:23
28. Other tools, 966.
37:26
OK, 28 saves. They beat Florida, 319-7438
37:31
saves. They beat Seattle 129 saves 967.
37:36
They beat Colorado 32947 Save percentage, 36 saves.
37:41
It's crazy and those. Are four out of five wins.
37:43
Those are some. Real opponents too.
37:44
It's not just like easy actually.
37:47
I mean the one they lost was to Calgary which is the joke
37:49
opponent. But no these are crazy numbers.
37:52
This is looking like a season long hold.
37:53
It will be interesting to see what happens when Ned comes back
37:55
from his personal leave. We're gonna find out tonight,
37:58
yeah, so check the score. We're gonna make a post about it
38:00
because we can't record this any later.
38:02
But yeah, I'm super high Askerov.
38:04
Yeah, no, Askerov is sick and worst case they'll be splitting.
38:08
But like when he's playing like this, how could they not keep
38:10
writing with them? So and he's going in the future.
38:11
I don't think that is the better they want to.
38:13
Start now 100%. So this is a great pick up.
38:16
I think this is really this will be a league winner, gold leaf
38:18
pickup. And for Week 7, he's going to
38:21
get probably 3 out of the four starts is my best guess.
38:23
But you know, he's getting at least 2.
38:25
So this is the type of guy that can change your goalie room.
38:28
I went zero G guys. I left the draft with no healthy
38:30
goalies. So this I've been kind of
38:33
putting pieces together. It was a long time Wedgwood was
38:36
on my roster. Now Ask Her out.
38:37
Feels like the main piece on my team at the goalie position and
38:40
I'm really happy about it. Yeah, OK, let's go to the top
38:43
three quality goalies, guys that are gonna give you one good
38:46
matchup start at. #3. We've got Anton Forsberg of the
38:50
LA Kings playing a back-to-back against San Jose and Boston.
38:54
I think either of those is beatable.
38:55
LA has been pretty hot lately, so I like this one a lot.
38:59
Listen, we want one goal that's put on the back-to-back, so it's
39:02
reliable on a good team. Most of the time LA is a good
39:06
team. This is a no brainer if you need
39:09
to start. Yeah.
39:11
OK, let's go to number two. Number two, we have Arvid
39:15
Soderblom of the Chicago Blackhawks.
39:17
They have a back-to-back in Seattle and Buffalo, two teams
39:20
that are very unafraid of. And Chicago's been kind of a
39:23
wagon lately with the bar show going off, you know, so nice
39:26
when putting up great numbers. And I think Soderblom could put
39:28
up a really solid game as well. Listen, you're streaming for one
39:31
for one game. You wanna win.
39:33
And Chicago against Seattle, Chicago against Buffalo, you'll
39:36
get a better chance to win than most other matchups.
39:39
Don't hate it. I think whatever will be a great
39:41
one game stream this week. Yeah, and at.
39:45
Number one. We've got my old nemesis David
39:49
Riddick of the New York Islanders playing against Saint
39:52
Louis in Seattle. Against Saint Louis is just a
39:54
dumpster fire. Seattle is pretty solid but like
39:57
nothing to be scared of and the Islanders have been doing really
39:59
well so I like this one a lot. Big save, Dave.
40:02
Yeah, except when I need it. What?
40:06
What did he do to you again? I forget.
40:07
OK, here's what happened, right? This was three years ago, OK?
40:10
And I still remember essentially what happened was that I had UC
40:15
Saros and Sarah was putting up a really good game.
40:18
And I think he got he got, I really needed the win, right?
40:21
And they were up by one goal. And then Saros got injured like
40:24
with like a minute left in the game and had to leave the game.
40:27
And obviously, you know how it works where the goalie who was
40:30
in the game for the game-winning goal gets the win, right?
40:33
And so all I needed was just no save, have to hold it together
40:38
for one minute to get me the save and then read it comes in,
40:41
let's in a goal against my opponents player for the game
40:44
tying goal. And then let's in the OT winner
40:46
against my opponents player And I didn't get the win and my
40:48
opponent got two goals off that and I've never forgiven him.
40:51
It's been three years. Remember clearest day losing my
40:54
mind on our group chat and told the guys like this can't be
40:57
real. But anyways, let's wrap it up
40:59
before I lose it. Yeah, I can't talk about David
41:02
anymore. Except right now for the week 7
41:06
streamer show on. Back to do it for the fans.
41:08
If it's the right move, it's the right move.
